Feminism and Marxism
Feminism and the women's question has continually played an important role in the history of the Left. This workshop seeks to bring together feminists of different generations to discuss the changing meaning of the relationship between feminism and socialism, in order to begin to talk about what the struggle for women’s liberation might mean politically in the future.
What is feminism? What is the struggle for women's emancipation?
How should we interpret the greater separation of mainstream feminism from socialist politics and from Marxist politics over the 20th century?
What is the relationship between the fight for women's freedom and the project of human emancipation?
What do the seeming advancements and successes of feminism in recent decades tell us when considered in relation to the failure of the proletarian struggle?
